⚠️ Mastodon 4.4.x ⚠️
You're being urged to upgrade to Mastodon 4.6.x for a reason. Mastodon plans to release v5 by the end of this year or early next.
That's why we've jumped from 4.5 to 4.6, and now we're on 4.7, with 4.8 already in nightly builds.
Certain features and functionalities will leave you behind, and 4.4.x will soon reach its end of life (EOL).
If you're using Mastodon 4.4.x, you should aim for 4.6.x or newer.

If you're looking for the next legacy build, in the future 4.8.x will likely be it. Mastodon likes to keep three releases going: legacy, stable, and current (plus nightly, which becomes current). With this historic pattern in mind as we march toward 5.0, which will become the current build, that would make 4.9 the stable and 4.8 the legacy. That is only speculation, of course. But I do know well enough, that moving to 4.5 isn't your next best move.
